Little Fish Rattles the Sabres

Sens Take Opener 5-2

The Ottawa Senators, led by Mike Fisher, put a beating on the Buffalo Sabres tonight in the first game of the Eastern Conference finals. Fisher's shorthanded goal almost five minutes into the game set the pace and his tireless play throughout the game caught the attention of Don Cherry...again. Cherry's post-game comments were filled with praise for the Peterborough native!

Back home in Cavan, Ontario, Mike's uncle David (Big Fish) was cheering in his usual, laid-back, quiet manner!
